Empties July 2013

Fast forward June, now here comes the end of July and the end of some of my products - empty stashes of products that is. What I like most about posting Empties is that I could sum up what I think about certain items after fully using it - its like a review in a way but not really. Anywho, here's the batch for this month!

ELIZABETH: Animal Stripe Inspired Nail Art

This time, I modify the zebra prints and make it a bit bigger for a more noticeable contrast of color...
This nail art is very easy.. Just use a white base coat..

As usual, you could choose whatever color you want or have, but as for me, Zebra is it!

My|Phone A919i Duo over Iceberg

 After several days of contemplation, I finally gave in to My|Phone A919i Duo! The same day they launch the latest flagship smartphone - Iceberg.

Why did I choose A919i Duo over Iceberg?

It's cheaper. Although I love these

Myphone Iceberg Features

Aluminum Body - Yup, the first among the rest. With the full integration of Aluminum body, Myphone Iceberg will not just be durable but also cool and sleek looking.

Clever Motion Feature - More like O+ air shuffle or Samsung' smart gesture that lets you control your phone using sensors like waving your hand to capture images, wave to dim, flip to mute, and clever dial.

 

Wireless HDMI - I'm not quite sure how it works, but according to Myphone the wireless display accessory will be sold separately, and by the way wireless display means showing your phone display on TV or LCD TV.

Anti-Theft Technology - A pinoy technology built for Myphone also known as Theft Apprehension and Asset Recovery Application or TARA, using these technology you can freely control your smartphone whatever case  may happens.

Corning  Gorilla Glass 2 - An upgraded version of Gorilla Glass, which basically means more scratch endurance.

Jelly Bean 4.2 - The latest is always the best, higher version means more compatibility and that's the best way we can have the most of Myphone Agua Iceberg.

16GB Internal Memory - I don't think you'll ever gonna need a microSD, but if 16GB is not enough for you then just use an SDcard .

I'm so satisfied with these, its cheaper and besides 5.7" is too big for my liking...

Summer Must-have Item- Tinted Rx Sunnies

I have to admit, as a bespectacled person, I sometimes feel awkward when I head out on a sunny day especially in summer. Stand under strong sunlight, my eye can not open. So for this summer, I think a pair of tinted prescription sunglasses is a visual aid which features lenses that are colored or darkened or polarizing lenses to protect my eyes from sun's glare. More excitingly, there are variety colors of tinting for my choice. If you have not tried this before, you can try to get your First pair for free of tinted prescription sunglasses atFirmoo.com.

FOOD TRIP: Holy Cow! - Steak Ranch and American Grill

This post

was way beyond late, but heck, I'll post it anyway. Just pretend it's thursday and this is a throwback post (well, actually, it is!) We were to meet an architect from Cavite area - and we want to meet "half-way" so we decided to just do it *wink* inside Mall of Asia at around 5pm onwards with ma crew... and when I say "crew" I meant my officematesss a.k.a. family including

ELIZABETH: People are People (Dalinda Style)

My bf and I stroll the mall yesterday and as always, he came with me to try out gladiator shoes I've been contemplating to buy. We enter different stores and finally at People Are People, I fell in love at first sight. I try it out and it "feet"s me well! lol But still, Im holding my tongue (more like holding on to my purse) on buying this... but after knowing its the last pair for this color and size, my bf "reserved" the item for me for one day. We left the store, and called it a day. Woke up and felt half-hearted to buy it because, I just had a new pair last week, then...

I'm so happy when I received this yesterday! Yes! My boyfriend bought it afterall and surprised me! I didn't expect him to buy this without me - I was just telling him on the phone not to! haha :)

One happy gal here!
#Life is short, buy the shoes! lol
Technically, I didn't buy it and received it as a gift - just because (he wants to!) :D

I love the design of the box! cute right? :) I would definitely keep the box, this is where I'll keep my shoes and the paper bag as a recyclable - chic and sassy way of helping Mother Earth! #thumbsup

A simple shirt and jeans will glammed up when I pair them with this! Oh la la love!

I'm so in love with the nude color and on the style of the sandals! Very comfortable to wear and it won't make my feet and legs hurt :)

Stay tuned for an OOTD soon!

live, love, laugh,

Beth :)

ELIZABETH: Ishigaki (Premuim Glutathione Blend)

This unique custom-blend of Glutathione Tri-Peptide and essential amino acids were carefully formulated not just for skin lightening but as well as for the total wellness of the skin, hair, nails and bones! :) It helps repair damaged cells from free radical stresses and aids in attaining a healthy, smooth and fairer skin! 

I will be posting my feedback on this product after taking 2 bottles, so stay tuned! :)

ELIZABETH: Celeteque (Brightening)

Hello there! Just wanna share to you what i bought from Celeteque.. A Brightening Radiance Body Cream with MultiBright Complex and SPF 15! :) 

This product contains MultiBright Complex, a revolutionary fusion of seven plant extracts (Mallow, Peppermint, Cowslip, Lady's Mantle, Fluellen, Balm Mint, and Yarrow) that reduces melanin to help achieve fairer and even-toned skin.

I also love this product  because it has effective moisturizers that help keep our skin smooth and supple! :) And it has double sunscreen protection against harmful UVA/UVB rays that cause skin darkening and premature aging. 

So, if you are looking for a multiple benefits like brightening and making your skin moisturize plus an SPF to protect your skin from the sun, you might wanna try this too! ;)

live, love, laugh,

Beth :)

ELIZABETH: Hap Chan

Hello guys! How are you? I just wanna share to you one of our favorite restaurants this few weeks ago! A Chinese Restaurant called "Hap Chan"! Hap is the Chinese word for "to put together or bundle in one group". Chan is Chinese word for "place". Hap Chan defeated our previous number one Chinese food hot spot - ManHann... For the reasons you'll understand just soon enough. lol (Of course, Chowking is number one on a different list, if you know what I mean... hehe)

Here are my eating buddies also known as my family...

BDJ Rendezvous: Work Your Way To The Top #WYWTTT

As a working mom - a work at home mom (wahm) - I could easily do my business without makeup on, or corporate clothes for that matter. I could myself my boss, and time is in my hands. But that didn't hinder me nor my BDJ family members - meet my cousin, Ate Zhai and only sister, Beth!

from joining this BDJ Rendezvous: Work Your Way To The Top!

Cut the chase short, here are the highlights of the event!

Ms. Hazel’s emails always have that reminder – 80 first bellas will take home lootbags and a chance on the raffle prizes. Heck, if we are doing this, we will do it ALL THE WAY.

So yeah, here we are on the line – included in the early-birds girls -get-the-worms loot bella!

Plus, we had the chance to explore TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL

and JOHN ROBERTS POWERS table beside the busy Registration table.

The first talk: Stay On The Beat with Donna Miranda

I dare you to read this tongue-twister like phrases... 

It gave me headache!

My favorite talk of the program was: Express and Impress with PJ Lanot!

I think this is the best part of the show! Interactive gossip chat with the audience (us)! I just love this guy! Aside from the fact that he’s cute between a Cid Lucero and Christian Bautista for my opinion and seductive voice behind Gerald Anderson and John Lloyd Cruz, this guy is more than a good face, he’s a complete package – face, voice, body, (yes, I have to include the body, the body language that is! lol) and talent!

Learned a lot of  dirty badass tricks on how to impress – observe, follow, lead. If you’re on the rendezvous, then you know what I’m talking about! *wink wink

Of course we didn't let him slip away without a photo, right?

Pretending we are THIS CLOSE. *insert cross fingers here…

The food as always was amazing! Pasta with black olives and fita crackers with that amazing-palaman (IDK-what-its-called-spread) was so scrumptious, I burp before I remember to take a snap shot for my instagram (follow me on IG: @gerilen)!

P.S. to all attendees – if you know what it’s called, please comment it down below. A link to the recipe won’t hurt either! ;)

After the break we had the third talk:

Work In Style With Sydney Yap

How to Measure Your Bra Size?

 I ate my shyness away, and approached the Host of the event

Miss Tricia Abad after the event; we had to say Hi

because she picked us (Beth - @jameliza24 and I - @gerilen) on the twitter bdj rendezvous invite promo and because she’s super nice in person

and because she have a sexy back! :P
